854 (38) LICENSING ACT 2003 – APPLICATION FOR THE VARIATION OF A PREMISES LICENCE, BEST KEBAB, 1 DONCASTER ROAD, SCUNTHORPE – The Service Director Neighbourhood and Environment submitted a report advising members of an application to vary the premises licence at Best Kebab, 1 Doncaster Road, Scunthorpe.

Details of the application were outlined in the report, together with the variation application form as well as documents submitted by Humberside Police objecting to the variation application.

There was no application to vary the procedure. However, Humberside Police, following agreement from all parties, submitted additional papers for consideration by the sub-committee. It was at this point the meeting was adjourned for ten minutes to allow all parties to familiarise themselves with the additional representations.

Once the meeting was reconvened, the Premises Licence Holder and their representative as well as a representative of Humberside Police addressed the sub-committee and responded to questions.

To modify the conditions of the licence;

Following the summary of the case of the applicant as well as Humberside Police, the meeting was adjourned for deliberation by members and then reconvened when the decision of the sub-committee was stated as follows: –
